Nightmare. Really sorry for you.
I just got a fire extinguisher for father's day and installed it yesterday. I hope I never need it! |

Re: Officially not part of the fun anymore :(
I will get some insurance. I don't have any equipment to do any of the work. I have a ratchet set but that is it. I did work on it myself but this is to much for me. I wish I could fix it but I'm a college student so the money to fix it isn't there.

Re: Officially not part of the fun anymore :(
Sell the good parts and go to school. After school, you can get another.
Glad to know no one was hurt! So close your house too!! Please post a picture of your engine bay? What type of carb setup and fuel line did you have? Your experience while unfortunate can teach and save others. Good luck. |

Re: Officially not part of the fun anymore :(
I had an edelbrock 306 carb (i think). Also I hope I can tarp it but we will see what the insurance does cause I still need a car.

Re: Officially not part of the fun anymore :(
sorry about that man, best of luck in whatever you decide to do, do you think that you'd rebuild it in the future?

Re: Officially not part of the fun anymore :(
That blows big time.
Given your experience, let the insurance co. total it but not get hosed. Buy another square and tinker. I started on mine with just a rachet set years ago. Glad you're ok.
